American Teen chords by Khalid

Verse 1:
           G
Living the good life full of goodbyes
   C
My eyes are on the grey skies
       Bm                    D
Saying I don't want to come home tonight
          G
Yeah, and I'm high up, off what?
   C
I don't even remember
         Bm                               D
But my friend passed out in the Uber ride

Pre-Chorus:
                  G              C
Oh, I'm from the city of the 9-1-5
               Bm
Where all the girls are pretty
             D
And they're down for the hype
                 G
All my boys are with me
      C
Going up for the night
         Bm         D
But who cares, who cares
                         G
'Cause this is our year

Chorus:
           C            Bm
So wake me up in the spring
           D                      G
While I'm high off my American dream
G                            C
We don't always say what we mean
            Bm                 D
That's the lie of an American teen

Verse 2:
G
Maybe the end is near
                C
But I've been waiting all year
            Bm
To get the hell up out of here
     D
And throw away my fears
G
I'm so faded (I'm so faded)
       C
Off of all the things that I've taken, and
Bm
Maybe I'm not really drunk
            D
Maybe I'm really good at faking

Pre-Chorus:
                  G              C
Oh, I'm from the city of the 9-1-5
               Bm
Where all the girls are pretty
             D
And they're down for the hype
                 G
All my boys are with me
      C
Going up for the night
         Bm         D
But who cares, who cares
                         G
'Cause this is our year

Chorus:
           C            Bm
So wake me up in the spring
           D                      G
While I'm high off my American dream
G                            C
We don't always say what we mean
            Bm                 D
That's the lie of an American teen
